What makes the Victorinox Swiss Army Knives an ideal companion?

2016-07-08

The Swiss army knife has helped many overcome the everyday challenges that he/she comes across. From the most trivial quirks and useful features to nifty little tweaks and tips, these little marvels are handy at every junction.

The origin of Victorinox dates right back to the year 1884, when Karl Elsener opened a cutler’s workshop in Ibach-Schwyz. His revolutionary idea of manufacturing a compact knife with an array of practical functions was a success: the Swiss Army Knife was born.

As customer needs and technologies have changed over the years, the legendary Swiss Army Knife has also evolved and is now available in a range of variants worldwide. Quality, Functionality, Innovation and Iconic design have the highestpriority at Victorinox, and this also applies to other product categories.

Over 100 years later, each knife still possesses the DNA of its forefathers: inspired functionality and reliability. You'll still find in them the tools that man-kind has always needed to get the job done, and over the years, we've added functionality for the needs of today while staying true to fdiconic roots. We still call them pocket knives, but they'll be spending a lot of time outside your pocket.
